OK Chris,

What type of transformer are you running?  Your 11.5 inches seems pretty
good.  You may easily surpass my 'record'.  This is my first coil ever, and
the very fact that it even works as it does amazes me.  I built it after
studying the many TC pages on the net of which some were questionable.  I
discovered the Pupman TC list two months after I finished my coil.  Since
then I have uncovered many areas that could be improved, but I'll save that
for my next coil.

Has anyone on the list built a mini-mini-coil?  Like the small ones schools
use by Science First?  If you have, please share the details with us.

Regards,

Karl
